You ask, where in Scotland do slots appeared in a simple pub? After all, throughout the United Kingdom are allowed only standard FOBT terminals, which need to purchase a special license and pay a lot of taxes.

Local craftsmen have returned to the practice of so-called fruit slot. Machine does not offer gambling, gamblers trows a coin in it and spins the reels, and receive guaranteed prize in the form of chewing gum with fruit flavor, or a similar product. The device belongs to the category of vending machines – because the client in any case receive the goods, for which he paid the money from the combination, fell on drums, it depends only on “flavor” of gum. But here, the client can “refuse” from the acquired product and return it to the bartender. And there are very different prices – for some types of chewing gum administrator can give you a thousand pounds.
